You can still pilot per Layer on individual channels also, if you don't touch the NS4 and treat it as an expander (but that's not your case, right?).
MMM yess and not.
Because with the Aux Kb option, you have one Aux Kb panel basically, to which you can assign one or more layers, and then the Aux Kb will be assigned to 1 MIDI channel only. So I would not be able to control it with 3 different keyboards (and assigns sound to each one)
Instead with the Layer MIDI option I was expecting to be able to control each sound from a different Midi Channel, still being able to use the internal keyboard for other instruments. Using the Nord stage as a Sound Module basically.
None of these 2 options look to be the one I would need

But that's not for sure -- it would be what you'd need for taking advantage of the layer MIDI function together with the internal keyboard.
Yes this is what I would need!
